Chapter 293 The Vice Director of Drama Critic Calls
Chapter 293 Drama Review, Deputy Director Calls
As the full episode of "The Beginning" has been aired, well-known drama critics in the film and television industry have begun to produce full episode reviews.
Before "The Beginning" finished airing, many drama reviewers had been updating drama reviews and videos.
However, before the entire episode is broadcast, the drama review can only review part of it, and there is no way to make a full episode review, so there is no way to give a score.
"The Beginning" aired for three weeks, setting a record of 180 million views in a single day and 2.3 billion total views.
If you look at the total number of views alone, 2.3 billion on-demand views does not seem to be a super hit.
Every year there are always several S-level major productions with a broadcast volume of 2 to 3 billion.
However, for this kind of S-level production, the number of episodes usually reaches 40.
On average, less than 100 million per episode.
If you compare it like this, you will understand how popular "The Beginning" is.
There are only 15 episodes, but it has achieved a high broadcast data of 2.3 billion.
Moreover, because it is a suspense drama, the topic is full of topics, and there was a grand occasion of the entire network discussing the plot of "The Beginning".
After the broadcast, drama critics from major online platforms and UP hosts took the time to write drama reviews and analyze "The Beginning" from beginning to end.
As a 100% fan of UP owner "Huskies Love Watching Dramas", Li Xiaobin followed the trend and updated the analysis video of "The Beginning".
In the video, Li Xiaobin wears a husky hood and begins to explain some details of "The Beginning":
"Viewers, what you are seeing now is Benha and many colleagues, who stayed up all night for two weeks and watched the video produced by "The Beginning" 72 times. Before watching the video, don't forget to ****.
"First of all, I must admit that when I was watching the show, in the first eight episodes, I couldn't guess where the bomb was, nor who the murderer was, nor the identity of the driver.
"Speaking of this, some viewers may want to say that there are no clues revealed in the play, so of course you can't guess it.
"But to say there are no clues is not entirely true.
“When my colleagues and I were doing the second brushing, we discovered that Auntie Guo had given her the camera the first time she got in the car.
"The actress who plays Guo Aunt is indeed a seasoned actress. In the scene where she gets on the bus for the first time, she glances at the driver's seat. There is really too much in that look.
"I didn't notice it the first time I saw it, but the second time I saw it, the look in my eyes was like saying goodbye to my husband when he died together.
"I have to say that Auntie Guo is indeed an actress from the National Theater. Her acting skills are simply amazing..."
When the video played to this point, netizens began to flood the screen with comments:
[I was completely conquered by Guo Auntie’s acting skills. The first time I saw her drawing a knife to kill, her look of determination, I thought she was a terrorist. It was so scary.]
[I thought so at first. Auntie Guo’s image is really amazing. She is cleanly dressed and has neatly combed hair. She looks indifferent to everything. At the beginning, she looked like a cold killer. It wasn’t until later that she told her story
The multi-faceted nature of the characters is revealed when telling the story.】
[I'm guilty. I should have had more confidence in "The Beginning" from the beginning. Before it aired, I believed the lies on the Internet and thought "The Beginning" was a bad drama. I didn't watch it at all at first until "The Beginning" blew up my friends' screens.
Circle, I couldn’t help but take a look. As a result, I was shocked by Guo Auntie’s acting skills.]
[Who invited Auntie Guo to play the role? This role is simply played so well. From the beginning, when she is as cold as a killer, to the subsequent pain and suffering, every scene is an acting textbook. 】
[I just said that "The Beginning" can't be bad. The fact that it can invite veteran actors from the National Theater to participate in it shows that the script is awesome.]
[In this drama, I would like to call Auntie Guo’s acting skills number one.]
"Husky Loves Watching Dramas" continued wearing a hood to comment on "The Beginning": "Judging from the entire drama "The Beginning", I think everyone's opinions are similar to mine. The best performance award must go to "Pot Aunt" Liu Lanying.
"However, apart from Auntie Guo, there are actually several other veteran actors who have very good acting skills.
"Old Watermelon is relatively unspectacular in the play, but in fact the actor played the image of a very ordinary common man and an old father.
"The role of Mr. Watermelon in this drama is not outstanding. He is such an ordinary person. The more ordinary and simple he is, the closer he is to this character.
"If you review it carefully, all the veteran actors in the play performed their roles to the most appropriate level.
"In comparison, the young male and female protagonists are not that good in acting.
"However, I use a very spiritual word here, 'relative'.
"That's right, because in "The Beginning", there are too many veteran actors with outstanding acting skills.
"This makes the young male and female protagonists look a bit immature in their acting skills.
"However, if you carefully study the acting skills of the male and female protagonists, it is not difficult to find that the male protagonist played by Fang Xing has completely caught up with the veteran actor's performance.
"One thing I have to say is that I am acting opposite a veteran actor from the National Theater, and my acting skills are so explosive that I don't have any composure at all. It's already amazing to be able to catch the scene.
"In order to explain this clearly, I looked for other film and television dramas in which 'Guo Auntie' appeared.
"Let's show a few clips first. For example, in "Eagle Eye", a certain top actor failed to catch Aunt Gu's scene, which resulted in most of Aunt Gu's scenes being cut out during post-editing.
"It's really hard to handle. In order to maintain top-notch performances, the producers usually cut out some scenes of veteran actors in the later stage to make top-notch performances look less clumsy.
"This was not the case in "The Beginning". Guo Auntie was on full fire, not holding back at all, and Fang Xing was able to catch the scene completely. This is the best performance.
"Except for Fang Xing, as for Lu Xiang'er's acting skills, I can only say that she has no acting skills at all.
"But what's very clever is that Lu Xiang'er plays herself, a college student, young, with a strong sense of justice...
"This means that Lu Xiang'er has almost no trace of performance in the play, because she is just playing herself, that's how she is.
"This has to be said about Fang Xing's ingenuity in writing the script.
"He arranged a most suitable role for Lu Xiang'er.
"So, having said that, Lu Xiang'er has no trace of acting, is her performance in the play good?
"Judging from the results, the effect is pretty good, because there is no trace of acting, so after watching the whole play, I didn't feel that the role she played was awkward.
"In other words, a performance without any trace of performance is actually the highest-level performance.
"Some people are born actors, such as the singer who was delayed in his acting career by singing.
"There is a kind of person who is born with the ability to act. Maybe this is the so-called talent.
"Moreover, Lu Xiang'er's appearance is real. I am looking forward to her costume appearance, but I don't know if she can act.
"After all, as far as I know, she was forced to do "The Beginning" out of necessity, and there may not be a chance to see her in dramas in the future."
When netizens saw this, they expressed surprise:
[What do you mean? I won’t be able to watch Lu Xiang’er’s dramas in the future? She is so beautiful, it would be a waste not to act.]
[The person who has won the gold medal in the Paganini International Violin Competition is already a well-known violinist, but he is young and lacks some qualifications. If he concentrates on playing the violin in the future, he may really stop acting.]
【This is such a pity.】
[What does it mean to be forced to act in "The Beginning"? Did Fang Xing point a gun at her head and force her to act? (Dog Head)]
【What gun?】
【What's going on upstairs? Why do I feel like you're driving?】
[The suspect car has evidence, the policeman will take the one upstairs quickly.]
[This is not a car going to kindergarten, stop the car quickly, I want to get off!]
Among the many comments, some netizens working in the financial industry began to reveal the news:
[I know a little bit, I work in an investment bank. This matter is actually not a secret in investment banks. Lu Xiang'er's family company, Dachuan Audio, was almost bankrupt and liquidated. Lu Xiang'er acted in "The Beginning" probably to make money to save the family company.
】
[There is such a thing. Now that "The Beginning" is so popular, has Lu Xiang'er made money? 】
[Working in the film and television industry, let me tell you some real stories. The investment in "The Beginning" was only 30 million. In the current film and television industry, this investment is only a B-level investment, and the investment is very small. However, Fang Xing is the one who produced "Wulin Gaiden",
With the appeal of "Wulin Gaiden", can't it still attract investment? The real reason is that Lu Xiang'er invested in this drama. If Fang Xing accepts more investment, Lu Xiang'er's investment proportion will be diluted, and the final share of the money will be
Naturally less.]
[Damn it! There is such an inside story. Fang Xing is so loyal. In order to let Lu Xiang'er get more money, he actually refused to ask for a higher investment. 】
[Is it possible that I can’t attract investment? After all, "The Beginning" was not optimistic at the beginning, and there are no recurring online dramas that have become popular in China.]
["The Beginning" couldn't attract investment? This idea is too ridiculous. When Ark Culture released the project news, it didn't take the initiative to find too many film and television companies. In the end, only Penguin Video invested 10 million and booked the exclusive broadcast rights in advance.
.]
[Layers may not understand the appeal of "Wulin Gaiden", just go to Penguin Video and you will know. Now "Wulin Gaiden" is still ranked first in the comedy list, and it has been almost a year since the show was aired. This long-term
The benefits are simply terrifying. With this kind of appeal, Fang Xing can easily get an investment of one or two billion for any project he undertakes. Of course, if the drama he shoots later fails, his appeal will fall to the bottom.
】
[So, Fang Xing forced the investment in "The Beginning" to 30 million for Lu Xiang'er? If you put it this way, I understand why he couldn't afford Lin Yingxue. 】
[Holy shit! This is really what happened. "Pillow" hired Lin Yingxue, and it cost 18 million. This is more than half of the total investment in "The Beginning". If Lin Yingxue was hired, "The Beginning" wouldn't even have the money to buy a bus.
】
[Actually, Lin Yingxue wanted to act even if her salary was reduced, but it was a pity that her agency was more optimistic about "Pillow". Moreover, Ruide Film and Television offered too much, and the premium was to rob people. One side was 18 million, and the other side was even a third of
I can’t afford the salary, so in order to make money, I really have to think with my toes and know which side to choose.】
【Will Lin Yingxue regret it now? 】
[I must be so regretful that my intestines are turning green, "Pillow" was like that. And "Pillow" is completely about the two male protagonists cutting leeks, Lin Yingxue plays the female lead, and she has to be criticized by the fans of the two male protagonists. The money is earned
I arrived, but I didn’t gain fame.]
[Thinking about it now, if Lin Yingxue starred as the heroine of "The Beginning", she would definitely be extremely popular now.]
[Some people on Weibo have made statistics. In the three weeks since "The Beginning" aired, it has been on more than 1,000 hot searches, but it has never been off the hot search list. The popularity is so horrifying.]
[If Lin Yingxue plays "The Beginning", based on this drama, her salary should increase a lot.]
[Unfortunately, there is no if, I am weak when I should be brave.]
[Lin Yingxue: Stop talking, I’ve already fainted in the toilet from crying...]
[It's a pity that Lin Yingxue became famous for her role in "Wulin Gaiden". Fang Xing is half of her bole. For the sake of 18 million, he didn't take the role of "The Beginning". I don't know if I can continue this network in the future.】
[If you think about it carefully, Fang Xing is really a scary person. As long as the programs and TV shows he creates are not popular, everyone who follows him, regardless of their ability, will take off without exception.]
[Guo Keda: I feel offended. 】
Drama critics in the film and television industry and UP owners generally gave very good reviews after watching the complete episodes of "The Beginning".
The score of "The Beginning" on Douya.com reached 8.1 points.
Although the ratings will drop slightly after the episodes are aired, the drop will not be too much.
The rating of 8.1 is already very high on Douya.com.
…
After the broadcast of "The Beginning".
Fang Xing received a call from an old acquaintance.
"Brother Fang, I haven't contacted you for so long."
The call was from Wang Yulin, deputy director of Xiangjiang Jade Channel.
When "Wulin Gaiden" was first released, in addition to Donghai TV, it was also broadcast on Xiangjiang Jade Channel.
At that time, it was the deputy director Wang Yulin who made the final decision to win "Wulin Gaiden".
Later, Fang Xing also asked Wang Yulin for help.
This time, "The Beginning" was on the air and Wang Yulin took the initiative to call. Fang Xing had already guessed what was going on.
"Director Wang is a very busy man, how dare he disturb me so often." Fang Xing said politely on the phone.
"Brother Fang, have you been busy lately? Do you want to come out and get together? It's in the East China Sea." Wang Yulin didn't mince words and put forward the idea of a get-together straightforwardly.
Fang Xing probably guessed what Wang Yulin wanted to do, and naturally it was impossible to talk about such an important matter on the phone, so he readily agreed: "Okay, when?"
"Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is fine. It depends on when you are free." Wang Yulin gave an approximate time.
"Then let's have afternoon tea the day after tomorrow. Let's have afternoon tea together?" Fang Xing confirmed the time.
"Okay, I have a friend who opens a tea restaurant in Donghai. The environment is very good. I will send you the address then and bring more friends. Don't be polite to me." Wang Yulin immediately expressed that he wanted to treat him.
"Okay, see you then." Fang Xing made an appointment with him on a time and place, and then informed the crew of "The Beginning" to prepare to have dinner together.
